Florida Gators updates: QB John Brantley still on track to start vs. Georgia

As of this morning, it looked like John Brantley will return from his high right ankle sprain to start for Florida against Georgia on Saturday (3:30 p.m., CBS).
“John Brantley has continued to progress pretty well through the week,” Gators coach Will Muschamp said. “I’d expect obviously him to play … unless something shocking comes up through the latter part of the week.”

Could that change before game day? Is Muschamp being truthful? Those answers will come at about 2 p.m. Saturday.

Muschamp said Brantley has been practicing and looked good throwing the ball. OC Charlie Weis said Tuesday night he was encouraged by what Brantley has been able to do.

Other updates:

— Muschamp declined to discuss the transfers of WR Robert Clark and TE Gerald Christian.

“Let’s talk about the players that are on our football team right now,” he said. “Those two young men are not a part of our team anymore.”
